Picture caption in Narrative Report

The default picture caption seems to be the name of the person linked to the picture followed by the picture's title. I want a picture (a church) without the name of the person, just the title. I thought putting the required text in the 'Picture Note' field and ticking the 'Use Note as Caption' box would do the trick, but that gives me no text at all. Is there another note field somewhere that I should be using?

It seems a tad obscure to me, but if you put the caption in the (untitled) text box at the botton of the Edit Media Item form (alongside the Use Note as Caption check), it seems to work. Presumably there's a distinction between a Picture Note and a Link Note, and it's the latter that you need to use as the caption.

Thanks, Chris. Worked fine. A tad obscure for you - completely opaque for me. The manual said put it in the note field; it never occured to me to put it in the untitled box (Links?) rather than the box marked Picture Note.
